Introduction to Setting City Area Targets and Trajectories for Emissions Reduction
What is ? At a basic level – a (very big) Spread Sheet and UI (Tableau). Parallel activity to Paris Agreement Compliant Carbon Budget work undertaken by Tyndall Centre. The modelling tool will support reporting, and… Assist decision making at a regional/sub-regional level with respect to directing technical “interventions” to drive decarbonisation efforts.

Some of the “big ticket” items…#1 Electricity Grid (local influence only) Increase solar PV installation Increased bioenergy use Transport Domestic transport behaviour Shift transport to zero emissions Domestic freight shift to rail and water and low emission HGVs
Some of the “big ticket” items…#2 Domestic & Commercial Heating Home insulation Increase low carbon heat sources (electrification / heat networks) Reduce heat demand for commercial buildings
